DevOps Engineer (senior)

Written by Paula Cristea | Jul 8, 2025 8:55:38 AM

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer who can help us bring structure, clarity, and stability to our cloud infrastructure. Our app runs on AWS and uses services like ECS, S3, CloudWatch, CloudFront, and more — but we currently have low visibility into how everything connects. This is not about over-engineering.

Our future colleague should be a passionate and self-motivated individual with a strong work ethic and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects and make a real impact on a growing company, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities

  • Understand and map our current AWS infrastructure (S3, ECS, CloudWatch, CloudFront, etc.);
  • Document how the app interacts with the infrastructure (clear diagrams, processes, and ownership);
  • Set up monitoring, alerting, and recovery processes to make the app more stable;
  • Help the team deploy and operate with confidence (CI/CD pipelines, rollback strategies, etc.);
  • Work closely with developers to ensure our code and infra work together smoothly;
  • Recommend and implement best practices to improve performance, security, and cost-efficiency.

Knowledge and skills

  • Strong experience with AWS (especially ECS, S3, CloudWatch, CloudFront);
  • Familiarity with Docker and container orchestration (ECS, EKS, or similar);
  • Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines;
  • Good understanding of infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation);
  • Ability to simplify and document — not just configure;
  • A problem-solver who enjoys making things stable and predictable;
  • Great English level.

Nice to have

  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools (like Datadog, Grafana, etc.);
  • Knowledge of cost optimization strategies in AWS;
  • Comfortable communicating with non-technical stakeholders.
